Hey,

I have a dataset containing a number of records.

I am using XSLT to filter out certain records by sending each record through three if tests and displaying if they meet the criteria.

I want to tell the user how many records have been displayed not how many are within the dataset.

I know that variables are not variable and that incrementing is not straight forward. Can anyone give me a pointer on how to do this otherwise simple feat?

The XSLT code goes something like...

<xsl:for-each select="dataSet">
<xsl:if test="fielda != x">
<xsl:if test="fieldb != Y">
<xsl:if test="fieldc != z">
<xsl:value-of select="fieldContents" />
***add a counter here***
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

On screen I'd then show "counter of dataset total displayed". i.e. "5 of 100 records displayed".

It's all straight forward apart from the counter.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi Matt,
you should generate a node-set containing just the matching nodes:

<xsl:variable name="xx" select="dataSet[fielda!=x][fieldb!=y][fieldc!=z]"/>

then you can output count($xx), or iterate over it using for-each, etc...
